FWD Burnouts (Honda, Acura, and other front wheel drive car owners read on…)
First determine if you should go through the Water Box.
If you are going to do a water burn out:
- Roll into the water box and past the middle of it. You don’t want to be too close to the middle or it will be difficult to burn off all the water.
- Pull your ebrake (emergency brake) up as hard as you can [if you have one of those foot brakes I'm not sure if you should attempt this part since you don't have as much control over how fast you can engage and dis-engage the emergency brake]
- Rev your motor up… (depending on how much power/torque you’re making you may want to rev pretty high – maybe 1-2k under redline
- Drop the clutch and try to make some smoke! Feather the gas and keep it in the power-band. Don’t sit there bouncing off the engine rev limiter unless you have an aftermarket Engine Management System to stop fuel cut from kicking in or ignition that cuts spark automatically for you.
- You should probably burnout for at least 4-5 seconds. Possibly longer depending on your tires. Your car will pull you forward eventually-you don’t have to do a burnout this long if you don’t want to.
- Roll out and stage. You’re ready to race.
If you’re NOT going through the water box (dry burnout with FWD)
- Drive AROUND the water box, NOT THROUGH IT.
- Pull your ebrake up as hard as you can [Again be careful if you don't have a traditional hand actuated emergency brake. For example automatic 2005 Infiniti G35s have emergency brakes that are controlled with the driver's foot.]
- Rev your motor up… (depending on how much power/torque you’re making you may want to rev pretty high – maybe 1-2k under redline
- Drop the clutch and hope nothing breaks! Unless your tires are pretty bald (or they’re just crappy tires) then you won’t be able to do this for more than a few seconds. If you’ve got a modified car with forced induction then you can probably do some damage to your tires here if you burn out long enough. Don’t sit there bouncing off the rev limiter unless you have an EMS or ignition that cuts spark automatically for you.
- Your tires won’t exactly be “hot” but doing a little burnout before you get to the line will help knock all the little crap off your tires before your launch.
Turbo and supercharged cars will benefit more from a nice burnout since they need all traction they can get.

Dumbest shit I have ever read. You do NOT need to pull your e-brake up when doing a burnout. Just slip the clutch a little and clean off the tires. 4-5 seconds of burnout time will benifit you in NO WAY… Besides maybe stressing your transmission or snaping your limited slip differential. If anyone is reading this, do not look like a dumbass doing a John Force burnout in your civic. That is all…
A majority of FWD drivers won’t need to pull off a long burnout however drag racing slicks definitely benefit from hot smoky burnouts. Try launching on some cold slicks compared to hot slicks and you will understand what I’m talking about.
ok all you need to do is a Drop….put ur car in park…get to about 6000rpms and drop it in drive or first gear….i have a 96 buick reagal and i can make a hundred yard burnout…pussys
I’m studying something else about this on one more website. Intriguing. Your viewpoint on it really is diametrically opposed to what I study to commence with. I’m even now contemplating above the various factors of view, but I’m tipped to some excellent extent toward yours. And regardless of, that is what is so fantastic about modern-day democracy as well as the marketplace of thoughts on the internet.
Fantastic submit … I really like this site…Thanks
